City Council

12. ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PARKING RESTRICTIONS AND TRAFFIC\nSAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AT TOLER AVENUE AND FLORENCE PLACE\nThe Department of Public Works received a request to evaluate the intersection of Florence\nAvenue and Toler Avenue due to safety concerns with vehicles turning onto Florence Place from\nToler Avenue. In reviewing the site conditions, installing red curb at the northeast corner of the\nintersection would improve sight distance for left turning motorists travelling southbound on Toler\nAvenue to eastbound on Florence Place. In addition, modifying the existing striping along with\ninstalling delineators on eastbound Florence Place would provide a safer and clear assignment of right-\nof-way for traffic from Toler Avenue and from Florence Avenue, travelling eastbound on Florence Place.\nTherefore, it is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing\nParking Restrictions for the installation of 20 feet of red curb at the northwest corner of the intersection;\nauthorize the extension of the existing solid lane line on eastbound Florence Place east of Florence\nAvenue/Toler Avenue for approximately 80 feet; authorize the installation of two straight “arrow”\npavement markings for eastbound traffic on Florence Place, approximately 100 feet east of Florence\nAvenue/Toler Avenue; and authorize the installation of delineators/candle sticks to delineate eastbound\ntraffic on Florence Place for approximately 150 feet east of Florence Avenue/Toler Avenue.\nRecommendation:\nIt is staff's recommendation that the City Council by motion;\n1. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing Parking Restrictions; and\n2. Authorize the installation of 20 feet of red curb at the northwest corner of the intersection; and\n3. Authorize the extension of the existing solid lane line on eastbound Florence Place east of\nFlorence Avenue/Toler Avenue for approximately 80 feet; and\n4. Authorize the installation of two straight “arrow” pavement markings for eastbound traffic on\nFlorence Place, approximately 100 feet east of Florence Avenue/Toler Avenue; and\n5.
